Is there already zVM/zLinux documentation contrasting benefits/costs of Hipersockets vs shared OSA offload? I believe OSA offload can also be an approach that is a differentiator with Z. So might as well add that too? Unless Hipersockets is always superior, though I'm not sure that's the case... Or at least it's not clear to me what criteria to use to determine which way to go. Currently we use hipersockets between guests and zOS, but because of the additional CPU expense of Hipersockets I have considered looking into shared OSA offload instead. (Though I may be confused on that, that happens a lot with all this "your mileage may vary" Z stuff.)
Consider my confusion to be an example of one of your potential target audiences! ;-) Jon ________________________________ The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
